Japhet Kipkosgei had a strong performance for the Red Deer Polytechnic (RDP) Kings Cross Country Running team at Running Room Grand Prix #5. The first-year student-athlete from Kenya (28:59) led the Kings and finished sixth among his ACAC peers on the 8 km course. This exceptional effort helped the RDP Kings (59 points) place fourth as a team, trailing third place NAIT (54 points) by only five points.

Kipkosgei, a University Arts Diploma student, has been a welcome addition to the RDP Cross Country team. With his hard work and talent, Kipkosgei will be in contention for a medal at the ACAC Cross Country Running Championships on October 26.
